Beam

Over the town of Sigulda, Latvia, designer Aigar Truhins took the following images with a “standard digital camera.”  Upon seeing the phenomenon, it was reported that his son thought we were being visited by extra-terrestrial beings.

See for yourself.

Scientists have determind that the beams are actually reflections of light from the lamp posts, as that light reflects from ice crystals in the air. 

It is simply the stuff of wonder and amazement that beauty is created in ways which we seldom understand.

    Truhins should copyright these pics– they’re original.
